Life

Feeling nostalgic for last September. Autumn is a nostalgic season anyway, and a year ago this month roga was visiting; we listened to the beautiful songs of Rosh Hashanah like R'tzei and Sim Shalom and had apples and honey; I wrote the Inception/SGA crossover; and I tried out a new dance school after taking several years off. This year I do not ( Read more... )

I've had a handful of recurring dreams since high school: where the car brakes don't work, where I'm late for a school exam and I can't even remember having taken the class, where I'm being hunted by dinosaurs, and more recently, where the sea looms with huge, overwhelming waves. Last week I managed to have a dream where I was being hunted by ( Read more... )

Well, I had a good weekend. Did you?

I have acquired a couch! With a foldout bed, no less. Also a low roll-y table, so if former coworker J. from NY ever comes over again, she won't have to repeat her declaration that it's weird to have the TV on the floor.

Despite having not slept well and waking early and working a long day, today turned out great. In fact, I might say super great.

I went to part of a conference between work tasks. Some of it was fascinating and some of it was so dull I started to write down the names of all the Harry Potter characters I could remember in the smallest block ( Read more... )

I've taken a day off from work after losing Saturday to Remix and yesterday to a combination of having slept only half the hours I need to feel human, going to a (lovely!) fangirl housewarming party, and deciding to try the train instead of driving, which translated to almost four hours of travel instead of less than two (although I got some ( Read more... )

Office holiday party today. This year, instead of renting out the back of a bar or catering in the office, our managers booked a private room at Dave & Buster's for all 40-odd of us. For me that translated to four games of pool with three different people, two rounds of bowling, shuffleboard, a bunch of skee ball, free food and drinks, and a ( Read more... )

My slashfest entries are off to a good start: 1,600 words of Sirius/Remus in a Word document at home (kernel of the story complete), 250 of House/Wilson in an Outlook draft window at work (some key scenes begun), and a sheet and a half -- ETA, ~380 words -- of Spike story scribbled on the receptionist's kindly-provided printer paper while stuck in a waiting ( Read more... )
